MdKIM1-MdMYB306 enhances apple resistance to Cytospora mali via brassinosteroid biosynthesis under sufficient potassium status

Potassium (K) supplementation enhances apple (Malus ×domestica) resistance to Cytospora mali, thereby reducing apple Cytospora canker occurrence in the field. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms underlying this K-enhanced resistance remain largely unelucidated. Here, we found...

Bacillus velezensis B313-6 as a Potential Biocontrol Strain Against Anthracnose of Panax quinquefolius, and Its Fermentation Optimization, and Field Efficacy on American Ginseng

Anthracnose of American ginseng is caused by Colletotrichum panacicola. In this study, Bacillus velezensis B313-6, isolated from the rhizosphere soil of American ginseng, was identified based on morphological, physiological, biochemical, 16S rRNA, and the gyrase subunit A protein...
